AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Buggins opens his weekly column with some reflections about the demise of James Martin and his ministry. He then turns his attention to the previous week's productions at the Prince of Wales Opera House. He pays tribute to William Hoskins's stage management of Edward Fitzball's Azael; or, The Prodigal of Memphis (although he doubts whether the play has any literary merit), declaring: 'I have never seen in the colonies a piece better placed upon the stage'. Buggins provides a detailed examination of the acting, especially praising Rosa Cooper.
